Is it possible for the apostle to appear unencoded in the content between the start and end XML tags?

While trying to write an RSS reader, I ran into problems where the .NET XML Reader would throw an exception if an uncoded apostory appeared between the start and end tags found in the RSS feed.

I'm wondering if XMLReader in .NET 2.0 is not fully standards compliant? Or am I facing some kind of feed generator implementation error?

For clarification, I was working on the RSS 2.0 version, which was also the version number I found in the feed.

According to the W3C markup validator, an undefined apostory (') may appear in content between start and end tags in XML.



It looks like the problem I was reporting in my question was caused by a bug in an older version of the Microsoft XML parser.

Make sure the channel is broadcasting the W3C validator . This should give you a quick answer to who is not following the rules.
